Royal family had pledged to declare all presents received in an annual list, after several controversies
King Charles and his family have failed to reveal their official gifts for the past four years, despite previously promising to publish an annual list.
The last annual list, detailing official gifts received by all working members of the royal family in 2019, was published in April 2020 but since then there has been nothing, apart from the occasional description of an exchange of presents during a state visit or pictures when they are given gifts during an engagement.
Saudi Arabia’s controversial crown prince Mohammed bin Salman gave the Duchess of Sussex a £500,000 pair of diamond chandelier earrings as a wedding present in 2018. In October that year Meghan wore them at a state banquet in Fiji only a few days after the crown prince was accused of ordering the. But when journalists asked where she got them, palace officials said they were “borrowed”.
